All your Valentine projects are so cute! Thanks for your comments about my Matryoshkas. They actually weren't too hard to mass produce. It was fun. Last year I embroidered and that actually got to be tedious around #9 or so. LOL.Looking forward to getting the package!

I love seeing your crafts. I love to craft too but don't take the time. My Valentine project is still in the bag from the store. Oh well, next year. It will be a banner of hearts strung on ribbon. So glad to see another Valentines tree. Can't seem to take mine down this year. Thinking, thinking, thinking Easter tree! Any ideas?

The Reading Mother

I had a mother who read to meSagas of pirates who scoured the sea.Cutlasses clenched in their yellow teeth;"Blackbirds" stowed in the hold beneath.I had a Mother who read me laysOf ancient and gallant and golden days;Stories of Marmion and Ivanhoe,Which every boy has a right to know.I had a Mother who read me talesOf Gelert the hound of the hills of Wales,True to his trust till his tragic death,Faithfulness lent with his final breath.I had a Mother who read me the thingsThat wholesome life to the boy heart brings-Stories that stir with an upward touch.Oh, that each mother of boys were such!You may have tangible wealth untold;Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.Richer than I you can never be --I had a Mother who read to me.-Strickland Gillilan
